[sane-devel] Epson Perfetion 2480 scanner

[Ronald Gilman]

By some misstake, I was sent a model 2480 when I orderd a model 1660.
The model 2480 does not work (but I realize it is not listed as a
supported model.)

Here is some of the debug output it was basically identical for both
epson and epkowa. I used the iscan download from the epkowa website.

[root@pion gilman]# iscan

In the epson.conf file I added the vendor/product line
	usb 0x4b8 0x121
and, aside from some trivial differences, I got additional logged
output...
[epson] attach: opening libusb:004:004
[epson] Found valid EPSON scanner: 0x4b8/0x121 (vendorID/productID)
[epson] reset()

[epson] receive buf, expected = 1, got = 0
[epson] get_identity_information()
[epson] send buf, size = 2

[epson] send buf, size = 2

[epson] ident failed
[dll] init: backend `epson' is version 1.0.240
[epson] sane_get_devices()
[dll] sane_get_devices: found 0 devices

At this point, iscan would popup a window with the message
Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status.

I hope this is of some help for you. For me, I am trying to get them
to send me the model I ordered.
